Inquiry about the current status of the project #194
Description
Hello.
I like this parser combinator library because it is easy to use, but I noticed that there haven't been any recent updates or commits.
I was wondering if the project is still being actively developed and maintained.
Can I use or contribute this project still?
Or should I fork into new project?
Thank you for your time.

@aka-nse I’m also curious, it’s my go-to package any time I need to write a parser for something. Which isn’t that often but I’d quite like to know it’s around when I need it, or that new releases can be made for newer .NET 8 versions etc.
Maybe a few of us users can collect a few features or issues we’d like to see addressed and put together a couple of PRs? There’s also a pre-release 3.0 version, maybe we can help the maintainers get that into shape for full release?

Hi! Thanks for dropping by. Currently there's no activity going on, here; my own focus has moved over to https://github.com/datalust/superpower, which covers roughly the same functionality as Sprache but with error reporting improvements we need in our work.
If you prefer the Sprache approach then either a fork, or a coordinated/concerted effort to update this project would be fine. A fork would probably permit moving faster/making more meaningful changes, since there's a lot of code out there relying on the intricacies of Sprache as it is today, which makes evolution awkward.
HTH!

the reason i ask is we use octostache. it uses Sprache. and now with the recent release of octostache we have a transitive CVE for System.Text.RegularExpressions GHSA-cmhx-cq75-c4mj

@nblumhardt Thank you for reply.
superpower is new to me, I'll watch it.
Then, could you please append announce and guide to superpower on README?
I think it will be more active if many people have easy access to the migration project.

This is the same issue as #149 and on that issue I mention how we solved this in my library.
